Hi,
I myself too have been lurking on the list.

As a Linux person, I would have to agree, but as my company is evaluating
Linux as a desktop replacement for our existing Sun boxes, the streamlining
of the product, keeping users informed and the documentation are rather
important. (We presently have several hundred Sun boxes on desktops).
I think the product is great, but have to agree with the others about the
marketing side of things. As with all good things, I am sure it will come -
great work guys.
As a side item, lack of Microsoft networking services is the one item that
has so far complicated things to the point that I am unable to roll it out to
our users. We still have to rely on NT Terminal Services and Citrix to
provide Windows services.
